More than one million Canadians and Newfoundlanders served in Canada's Armed Forces, in Allied forces or in the merchant navy; over 47,000 of them gave their lives. They are commemorated
in the Second World War Book of Remembrance, the Merchant Navy Book of Remembrance and the Newfoundland Book of Remembrance.

Note: The Newfoundland Book of Remembrance commemorates the men and women of Newfoundland who gave their lives in defence of freedom during both the First and
Second World Wars - before Newfoundland became a province of Canada on April 1, 1949. The Merchant Navy Book of Remembrance commemorates the men and women of the Merchant Marine who gave
their lives while serving Canada at sea during both the First World War and the Second World War.

Korean War (1950-1953)

26,791 Canadians served in the Canadian Army Special Force; 516 of them gave their lives. They are commemorated in the Korean War Book of Remembrance.

In the Service of Canada (as of March 2014)

More than 1,800 Canadians are commemorated in the Seventh Book of Remembrance, In the Service of Canada. They gave their lives in service to their country, including peacekeeping and other foreign military operations, domestic operations and training, since October 1947, with the
exception of those commemorated in the Korean War Book of Remembrance. The Seventh Book of Remembrance is unique because it is a living document that will be used to commemorate those who
have given their lives "In the Service of Canada" for generations to come. The names of Canadian Forces personnel whose deaths were related to Afghanistan service are
commemorated in this Book.
